Online Check-In
I did a search and couldn't find a post for it. AA mailed me a post card, but unfortunately I lost it. It says that if I check-in online, I would get 500 miles (or something like that). Not sure if I have to register first? Can someone please provide me with the information?
Thanks,
J
Thanks,

Are you sure it wasn't for online booking? The online check-in bonus is long gone.

And since it was a post card . it probably was targeted to specific locations (or tiers or...) and you would need the code supplied on the mailing.

I can confirm that the OP is correct; my father (no status, recently began actually using his AAdvantage account) received an offer for 1,000 bonus miles for checking in online. I'll see if I can find out more information on it--I remember when he showed it to me, on the back it had the "Top 10" reasons to check in online
EDIT: The fine print:

I just received this postcard as well, except I have to use OLCI by 15-Feb-2007 to receive the 1000 mile bonus. As an EXP soon to be busted back to PLT, I wonder if AA is trying to "win me back." Within the last week, I've been targeted for the OLCI bonus and received the 10% coupon code.
The wording of the T&Cs is interesting. "AAdvantage bonus miles do not count toward top tier status qualification." So does that mean that they do count towards middle-tier status qualification (i.e., PLT)? (I already know the answer; just pointing out the curious language they used.)

I would have never read a thread called "Online check-in" so I'm glad this was posted with a more provocative title. If the two threads are merged, I suggest including the "1000 miles for" part of the title.

And thanks for the link.
What is interesting to me about this is that there are 3 of us traveling on the 1st. My wife and daughter who are both Gold. My wife also got the offer and my daughter did not.
